details

• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early in the movie Captain Pellew and Lieutenant Hornblower board their ship's boat to return to the ship. Pellew boards the boat before Hornblower. This is contrary to naval customs of the day (and present). The senior officer always boarded a boat last (and left it first).
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: After Horatio helps the girl to the bridge and loses her to enemy fire, Acting Lt. Archie Kennedy runs over the bridge to help Horatio back across. As they are crossing the bridge, the explosives go off one by one, in the wrong order. Since the fuse was lighted on Matthews's and Styles's side (where Hornblower and Kennedy were heading), the first to go off should have been the last, in which case they would not have made it across.
